Actually 🤓, position and velocity are relative, so that’s a nonsensical statement without defining a reference object for the Earth’s position. If we’re not assuming you end up safely on dry land, you could just as easily end up light-years away as wherever you were relative to the sun.
I don’t see how it could be scumbag. Fear of sharks != fear of people in very obvious and unrealistic shark costumes. People who are afraid of ghosts don’t have panic attacks from seeing people in ghost costumes on Halloween.
This comment deserves its own meme.
Not banned. I think it’s great that when you copy posts from .ml, you mention the author now.
How would a general strike change anything? The oligarchs know they can wait normal people out. Even if half the population went on strike for a week, the only result would be the people who organized the strike getting “disappeared” so that the dip in profits doesn’t happen again. We lost, full stop. Peaceful means will not end Trump’s tyranny.
And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn’t.
I’d love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.
Housing is more complex and the proposed solution may not work, but there are some problems that could be solved by someone with absolute power pretty easily. For example, if we shipped health insurance CEOs off to El Salvadorian labor camps instead of innocent immigrants, people would stop having their claims denied and the concept of a deductible would go the way of the dodo.
Why do we have to pretend the constitution matters when our enemies don’t?
The people responsible for doing that should be in prison or dead.
Ah, so the three-body problem (not the movie) has screwed us all. worthitifitlookscooltho
It must be a pretty big secondary moon, then!
If they needed more energy to grow food than to replicate it, replication would be so dirt-cheap that nothing would make any sense.
Even nerf bullets can hurt you if they’re shot at you in sufficient quantities.
I don’t mind them adding ads.
I’m gonna stop you right there.
Serial killers have to serve time added up from each individual murder. Corporate scumbags stealing from millions of people should be sentenced to prison for millions of years.
Why did you self censor by saying “dot”?
What stood out to you as particularly bad on your rewatch?
You’re absolutely right that access to education can greatly improve intelligence. Critical thinking skills are just that - skills that must be learned. Genetics are just one of countless factors involved in how intelligent someone ends up being.
I saw Idiocracy a while ago, so I can’t remember every detail to bring up examples, but I think the characters surrounding the main character did show growth and a willingness to try to learn things. I don’t think we see much of an education system in that movie’s portrayal of the future either.
It’s also worth noting that while your genetics absolutely affects your brain structure and chemistry, parents can pass on stupidity or intelligence to their children in more ways than just genetically. After all, most people learn more from their parents than from anyone else.
My point was that using the Sun, Earth, or really any object as a reference is arbitrary and the “same position” at two different points in time is completely undefined.
